Yea i probs wait and buy one next year but ill defiantly check it out in a 151. My other question is what kind of bindings should i put on it? I currently run burton cartels on my funkink but i wasn't sure if they would work as well on the disaster.

Thanks

148. I just remebered, you don't want Rodeos. They use the new mini disc which means on the 2x4 inserts on the Disaster you get only 3 stance options, thats it. You'll actually run into the same deal with Zeros now I think of it.

Put some K2 Indys, Hurrithanes, Rome Mobs, or Salomon Arcades on it.

Damn skinny, get the 151 and gain 30-40lbs, unless you're a chick then get the 148.

I'm looking into getting a disaster for a full out jib board and i was just wondering if i should get the 148 or 151? Im about 6 feet tall, 115 lbs, and my boot size is a mens 10. Im currently riding a 2012 Funkink 154 and it works perfect for an all mountain board, but im thinking of the disaster for spring time and when i just shred parks laps all day long.

Yeah if you want more than just jib get a FunKink or a Whatever.

I havn't ridden the disaster yet, but theres a couple local guys that have them. Just by watching them ride I can tell the board is SOFT. It looks great as a pure butter and rail board, but if you want to hit some jumps and do any freeride with it you should look at the Airobic, Fun Kink, or Whatever, all 3 of these will still be soft enough to easily press on them, airobic will be the easiest. The evil twin works too, but unless you're 190+lbs or already good at buttering I wouldn't reccommend it cuz it's pretty stiff.

I rode the Disaster with Rodeo's. They'll work, but they aren't the best match. I would say like TT30's or Raiden Zero's.

I am still leaning toward the Bataleon Disaster. Also for bindings I am looking at Ride Rodeos. Any suggestions here?

The Rodeo is a softish Mid Flexing binding at a 4 out of 10. So not a bad choice. If you want a more natural fit look at some softer bindings. From what I heard Flux RK30's are nice Jib Bindings. I personally run union contacts and really like them for my jib board. Also if what I have read is correct when you put more responsive bindings on a soft jib board they actually transfer MORE energy and flex into the board so that is something to keep in mind but don't quote me on that.
